Casting Couch: Sean Penn May Play One of His Classic Tough Guys in ‘Inherent Vice,’ Antonio Banderas Will Play Super Mario in ‘The 33,’ and More

20 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

What is Casting Couch? It’s a daily info dump of casting news. Today we’ve got reports of new jobs for Internet favorites like Simon Pegg and Peter Dinklage, as well as a bunch of pictures of actors holding animals, because why not? Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film, Inherent Vice, is said to have somewhere around 20 important speaking roles, so it’s starting to look like it may call for the most star-studded cast he’s ever put together; or at least the most star-studded since he last did an ensemble piece like Magnolia. Anyway, Cigarettes and Red Vines is reporting that the next big name likely to join the film is Sean Penn, as he’s currently in negotiations, and if the PTA-centric blog had to take a guess as to what role he’s up for, they imagine he’s going to be playing hard-nosed loan shark Adrian Prussia.

Sean Penn Tackling Inherent Vice

19 May 2013 1:33 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Inherent Vice is shaping up to be Paul Thomas Anderson’s film made all the better by a stellar ensemble cast since Magnolia as sources say that Sean Penn is circling a role in the project, which is set to star Joaquin Phoenix. The cast also includes Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Jena Malone and Kevin J. O’Connor. The period piece movie is an adaptation of novel by Thomas Pynchon about Doc Sportello (Phoenix), a private detective in Los Angeles in the ’60s. Sportello takes on the case of a missing girl who is coincidentally, one of his ex-girlfriends. Witherspoon is set »

Sean Penn Reportedly Circling A Role In Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Inherent Vice'

19 May 2013 6:30 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Since "Magnolia," Paul Thomas Anderson has mostly eschewed the starry ensemble. Not that A-listers haven't been in his films, but each of his last three films -- "Punch Drunk Love," "There Will Be Blood" and "The Master" -- have been anchored by one or two titanic performances by big names, but have featured supporting casts including a few names from PTA' s rep company, and other mostly unfamiliar faces. But it looks like that's changing with "Inherent Vice," his currently-prepping adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's novel. The film (backed by Warner Bros, making it his first true-blue studio picture) sees him reunite with Joaquin Phoenix for the lead role, with a ridiculously stacked supporting roster on board so far, with Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Jena Malone and Kevin J. O'Connor all signed on. And now, word's arrived that perhaps the biggest name so far has come on board, »

Blu-ray Review: Awful Script Strands ‘Open Road’ in Formulaic Wasteland

17 May 2013 5:11 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – So you’re a young woman who decides to fall asleep in your car parked just off the highway. You’re awoken by the rapping fist of a chiseled cop who leers at you with the sexual appetite of a drooling wolf. Sounds like a meet cute straight out of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.” But in Marcio Garcia’s head-slapping dud, “Open Road,” it’s supposed to be heartwarming.

See, the cop, David (Colin Egglesfield), has such an instantaneous infatuation with the woman, Angie (Camilla Belle), that he practically can’t contain his excitement when she complains that her car won’t start. So David checks to see what’s wrong with the car, and since he’s off-camera, we assume that he’s hacking away at the engine with his nightstick. After treating her to a meal, David suggests that Angie stay with him in his trailer for »

Paul Thomas Anderson - Mondo Movie Poster Art Series

15 May 2013 12:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

I enjoy the films of Paul Thomas Anderson. The guy is an incredible storyteller, and his films are awkwardly beautiful. Mondo has revealed an amazing series of poster art for the films of the director, each one from a different artist. What would you say your favorite PTA movie is? Mine would have to be There Will Be Blood.

"Hard Eight" by Rich Kelly

I met Rich a few years ago when he was living in Chicago - he had only just started out on his phenomenal run of posters but he was already light years ahead of the pack. Looking through his sketchbook was a fucking revelation - I can honestly say that book was up there with Crumb, Ware and Jean in terms of sheer brilliance and natural ability. When this curatorial project was taking shape I knew I wanted non-Mondo regulars to round it out but Kelly »

Check Out Mondo's Latest Paul Thomas Anderson Poster Art Series

13 May 2013 1:28 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Things fall down. People look up. And when it rains, it pours. My initial reaction to receiving an email with the subject "Mondo Announces Latest Poster Series Featuring Films of P.T. Anderson" was "holy shit!" After taking a look at the artwork, curated by Aaron Horkey for five of Paul Thomas Anderson's feature films (except for The Master), I'm not as excited as I first was unfortunately. The best ones are for Magnolia, which many still call his best film, and Hard Eight. And honestly the There Will Be Blood art ain't that great at all. But that's Horkey's style, if you're into it. Check out all five of the brand new Mondo PTA prints. Curated entirely by Aaron Horkey, one of Mondo's most popular and respected artists, the PTA series will be sold by Mondo online throughout May. More information and artists details with each art print below. »

The 20 Best Songs Written For Movies

7 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Everyone seems just as pumped for the Jay-z-produced soundtrack for "The Great Gatsby" as they are for the flick itself. But before we look ahead at what The Hova has in store for what we can only imagine will be the coolest-ever soundtrack to something you were forced to read in high school, let's look back at some of the all-time great movie songs.

Feature by Adam D'Arpino

20. Three 6 Mafia: 'Hard Out Here For a Pimp' ('Hustle & Flow')

Three 6 Mafia took home the Oscar for Best Original Song for this jam that confirmed what we had all already suspected: Pimpin' ain't easy. Terrence Howard and Taryn Manning's performances in "Hustle & Flow" were stellar, but there's little doubt that Three 6 Mafia's Oscar appearance, combined with host Jon Stewart's verbal Oscar tally ("Three 6 Mafia 1, Martin Scorcese 0") is what everyone remembers most about the movie. »

Warner Bros. to Distribute Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Inherent Vice’

1 May 2013 1:10 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Coming off its flood of “Argo” awards, Warner Bros. is boarding another pic with prestige elements, coming on to distribute and finance Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Inherent Vice.”

Joaquin Phoenix is  set to star with Anderson writing and directing.

Based on the 2009 Thomas Pynchon detective tome, the story is set in 1960s Los Angeles and follows the drug-fueled detective Larry “Doc” Sportello as he investigates the case of a kidnapped girl. The plot is less convoluted than many of Pynchon’s labyrinthine novels, with the New York Times calling it “a simple shaggy dog detective story.”

Anderson has not a major studio release since 2002′s Sony-distributed “Punch-Drunk Love.”

Cigarettes & Red Vines broke the news.

While WB has never released an Anderson film before, New Line distributed and financed his first two films, “Boogie Nights” and “Magnolia.”

It’s unknown if New Line will have a part in the production.

Insiders also add that Annapurna Pictures, »

Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Inherent Vice' Begins Filming This Month; WB Gets Involved

1 May 2013 9:35 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

There seems to be a dividing line when it comes to Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master as it has its strong supporters and serious detractors with a few of us scattered somewhere in the middle. However, no matter what you thought of it if you're a fan of Anderson's work you're likely already looking forward to his next film, Inherent Vice. Based on Thomas Pynchon's novel of the same name, the story follows 1960s stoner P.I. Larry "Doc" Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) who is hired by an ex-girlfriend to investigate the disappearance of her wealthy lover. As of now Phoenix is the only confirmed actor attached, though Charlize Theron has been rumored for a role, though which role is still up for question, though we may know more very soon. Today the unofficial Paul Thomas Anderson fan site Cigarettes & Red Vines reports Warner Bros. is stepping in with »

Clip joint: Corridors

26 April 2013 8:48 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

From hospital hallways to haunted hotels, corridors are coming into their own as the entryway to great cinema

This week's Clip joint is by Lauren Mullineaux, a freelance journalist and cultural critic based in Manchester. If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, drop and email to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk

Walk with me. TV may have made pacing through hallways sexy, but the movies showed us long ago that the corridor isn't as boring as you might think.

Long and unseemly, they're classically associated with the horror genre, but their appearance in every building ever made means a corridor scene is fast becoming a cinematic staple.

Whether in a school, a house, a hotel or even a spaceship the corridor gives film-makers a location in which to ramp up suspense or cripple viewers with anxiety. After all, where else are all the bodies supposed to go? »

Oblivion (2013)

24 April 2013 8:59 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »

Directed by: Joseph Kosinski

Written by: Joseph Kosinski, William Monahan, Karl Gajdusek, Michael Arndt

Featuring: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Melissa Leo

Containing manic energy is a skill. Suppressing it is hazardous. When Tom Cruise was bouncing off walls and generally making himself into a punch line cliché, you could still sense the charisma that made him a star. In Joseph Kosinski's sci-fi epic Oblivion, Cruise smirks and struts his way through a post-apocalyptic earth like he's on downers and barely registers a heartbeat.

After Earth was ravaged by Scavengers (or Scavs) by destroying our moon, the human race fled to space station called the Tet and started a colony on Titan. Now it's 2077 and the only humans left on Earth are Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), a tech support to huge machines siphoning our water to bring to Titan, and Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), a communications officer who keeps things running, »

Box Office: How Tom Cruise Stays on Top

21 April 2013 10:40 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Even before Tom Cruise's "Oblivion" opened in North America on Thursday night, the 50-year-old must have been grinning his famous grin. Before the movie had sold a single ticket here, it was a surefire hit. In his native land, Cruise takes a lot of ribbing, whether for his headline-generating personal life (especially since 2005, the year of the couch-jump) or for the seeming shrinkage of his star-power (again, especially since 2005). The estimated $38.2 million "Oblivion" earned this weekend marked his biggest domestic opening since "Mission: Impossible III" seven years ago. Some will call it a comeback, others will call it a fluke or last hurrah from a middle-aged action hero desperately trying to hold on to his relevance in an industry that relentlessly moves on to the next big (young) thing. But the truth is, Cruise has been a remarkably consistent box office winner, even since he started raising eyebrows eight »

'Oblivion': 5 things to know about Tom Cruise's sci-fi gamble

19 April 2013 5:29 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Tom Cruise could really use a box office hit right about now and "Oblivion" might be the film to do the trick. Already a success overseas, the sci-fi mindbender opens in the U.S. just two weeks ahead of the official summer movie season's launch with "Iron Man 3."

It's not just Cruise who could use a hit after a string of recent disappointments, but also the entire movie industry. So far the year has produced only three real hits ("Oz," "The Croods" and "Identity Thief") and a few modest overachievers ("Olympus Has Fallen," "Mama," "Safe Haven"), to say nothing of the even more troubling dearth of movies that are actually, you know, good.

The quick take on "Oblivion" is "great visuals, not-so-great story," but it's worth saying a little more about this ambitious piece of sci-fi filmmaking from director Joseph Kosinski ("Tron: Legacy").

With a Buzzy SXSW Pickup, Cinedigm Refocuses on Content

19 April 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

When Cinedigm’s acquisitions VP Vincent Scordino and director of acquisitions Kirstin Harris went to scout films at SXSW, Harris came back and told their boss, Chris McGurk, about “Short Term 12” (pictured above). “It’s the best movie I’ve seen in years,” she said. “It works on every level.” The drama drew enthusiastic reviews at the festival, with several critics buzzing about its awards potential.

(From the pages of the April 16 issue of Variety.)

The purchase is the latest example of Cinedigm’s commitment to focus on content. The publicly traded company built its business converting thousands of theaters around the country to digital. Now that the majority have transitioned, CEO McGurk is ramping up a slate that includes up to 20 titles a year targeted for theatrical bows combined with VOD and ultra-vod releases.

Trolling festivals for the hottest films and docs is an important part of the picture, »

‘Oblivion’ a visually stunning but too familiar Tom Cruise vehicle

18 April 2013 9:05 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Oblivion

Directed by Joseph Kosinski

Written by Karl Gajdusek and Michael DeBruyn

USA, 2013

Oblivion is a science-fiction Frankenstein’s monster, stitched together with the parts of older, better, films within the genre. If you have seen the seminal sci-fi movies, the ones everyone calls to mind when considering the best the unknown and supernatural have to offer, then you will be familiar with the angles of Oblivion, its many nooks and crannies. This Tom Cruise vehicle boasts striking visuals and a weirdly claustrophobic plot structure, but the familiarity it engenders only winds up doing it harm.

In a typically committed performance, Cruise plays Jack Harper (not to be confused with the title character of his last movie, Jack Reacher), one of the last surviving humans on planet Earth in the year 2077. Aliens attacked Earth and destroyed the Moon sixty years ago; as Jack emphasizes, though humanity won the war, they lost the planet, »
